Where are the critics tonite?
crickets

She is neither of these things at the moment.

Just give it a freaking rest, will you?

Can't we all just get along? I'm confused . How does someone interrupt a game thread? There is nothing here that cannot be ignored. Just say'n...
Why call out a critic and then complain when they appear? Just not sure of how this board stuff works. Thought it was supposed to be about dialog and debate but this has the flavor of a knitting circle where all should have the same stich on the same evening.
I'm confused, and here is a team all in the same uniform the same way .

I'm confused . How does someone interrupt a game thread? There is nothing here that cannot be ignored.

As someone who didn't participate in the game thread and is about to speak in generalities, I can't put an end to your confusion, but I can call a halt to furthering the kerfuffle.

The problem is that not everyone can ignore things they find especially irritating. In this case we're speaking not of occasional criticisms perceived as too harsh but of repeated criticisms perceived as pounding away on selected players.

Serial hits of this sort appear to be a tendency of some people in reaction to the stress of the more challenging games. And sometimes they become a more durable pet theme. (Old-timers will recall the exploits of one BBallxxxxx.)

If there are enough people who feel this is going on (and recently there have been -- it's not just the ones who came forward tonight) then we need to see if we can resolve the conflict while maintaining healthy game threads.

And we will, in a not-too-intrusive way. But that's enough on the subject for now.
